A New Era for Asian Gaming

Gamescom Asia’s partnership with Thailand Game Show marked a bold new chapter for the region’s gaming industry.

From AAA powerhouses like PlayStation, Xbox, and Bandai Namco to rising Southeast Asian studios pushing original IPs, the show floor buzzed with energy. HPL Game Design took it all in — connecting with developers, exploring tech trends, and sharing insights on the growing influence of Asian creativity in the global market.
